Wind turbine installation and service company Global Wind Service (GWS) opens a new business unit in Nantes in France. This follows the recent award of the load-out and installation of the 80-turbine Saint Nazaire offshore wind farm.
According to the 2030 National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), submitted in 2021, France has a target of 33% renewable energy in its energy mix by 2030 – a 10% increase. As such, the country’s goal is to increase onshore installed capacity from 16.6GW (in 2019) to 37.7 GW and increase offshore installed capacity from 0.002GW (in 2019) to 7.4GW by 2030.
